Babylon
I cannot live without music
I therefore do not,to think
unthinkable not within my grasp.
Walls need to echo flute
and song,drum and fife or
sing within the choir.
Woodland song and drumming
of the woodpecker to
drown the growling city,
Babylon,bikes and buses.

Thankyou John
I wrote this yesterday while listening to BBC3The poem developed itself the last line ties it all together. I had the choice of 'babel' or 'Babylon'I used the second as a representative of the city.

music has a profond effect on personality.and mood. Traditionally music has been part of the atmosphere in the coffee house and restaurant. It is a wordless 'hello' when one enters such establishments.It does not need to be loud just a gentle background pulse.One of the differences between night and day is song of birds to wake.
